The checkpoint will take place at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight, according to Police Chief Ed Delmore.

The checkpoint objectives are designed to reduce traffic crashes and the liability associated with violations of vehicular safety laws including the detection of impaired drivers.

The department's goal is to enforce violations associated with impaired driving and occupant restraint violations. Additional enforcement activities will focus on compliance with Alabama driver license statutes, liability insurance compliance and other vehicle laws including local ordinances.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is providing funding for this checkpoint.
